Subject: [Wlug] Communication between "HiTech" and anyone not in the club. Date: Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:06:31 -0400 From: Ken Jones <kjones@ziplink.net> To: wlug@mail.wlug.org
WLUG members:
There is one HiTech issue about which I am passionate and frustrated. It is the lack of understanding in the Fitchburg Public School District of the management efficiencies that are now "best practices"in the commercial world. I am sure that the Fitchburg case is typical of most Massachusetts public school districts.
Our School Committee beats up on the Superintendent over the cost of multiple Administrators. No one sees that this cost could be contained if improvements were to be made in the architecture of their internal network, the structures of their data bases and the training of their administrators.
Part of the problem is that the voting public does not understand either. This is perfect opportunity for the commercial LINUX community to garner some very good press. If Red Hat, for example, were to team with the Fitchburg Public School District to implement places where LINUX is a better answer than M$, it could get general media coverage as well as Education publication notice.
My observation is that little trust worthy technical information passes between HiTech and those who manage our public schools. I would like to work at bridging that communication gap.

Requirements:
* B.S. in Computer Science, or equivalent experience * 5+ years experience with Linux Systems Administration *Deep understanding of networking i.e.: understanding of how to isolate, diagnose, and resolve service delivery components (service delivery components include servers, networks, and applications); be familiar with the functionality, operating, and failure modes of key networking devices (routers, switches, bridges, firewalls, hardware load balancers); be able to identify networking as the potential cause of a service issue using server-resident tools to generate this data (i.e. tcpdump, ping, traceroute, etc.); familiarity in interpreting the output of these tools; familiarity with common network topologies, protocols, and tools; have some notion of common network security exploits -- and their remedies; understanding of troubleshooting at the packet level; intimate knowledge of TCP/IP networking * strong programming and scripting ability (Python, Perl, bash) * excellent verbal and written skills * outstanding customer service abilities

Maybe you've been coding for years, are bored with the old design-build-review-test-ship-repeat routine, and yearn for some faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you're a seasoned software engineer who is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering
UNIX clusters.
